Bondage Soup
Bondage Soup, 2018–, is an American community in the bakushi / kinbaku ecosystem.
Era: 2010s
Portland-based rope-education community / studio infrastructure operating through ROpenSpace PDX, with Bondage Soup as the core 12-month immersive curriculum for tying pairs. The official Bondage Soup pages describe a progressive monthly program blending foundational rope, suspensions, theory, negotiation and community practice, hosted through ROpenSpace with volunteer instructors, graduate assistants and alumni support. Shibari Study's studio directory now lists ROpenSpace PDX as the public studio identity for the same Portland infrastructure; the atlas keeps one merged entry rather than splitting venue and curriculum until stronger separate public public roles appear. Current official program copy says the curriculum has evolved continuously since 2018 and now draws on feedback from nearly 150 graduates; the site also presents `Pressure Cooker` as a faster advanced offshoot for experienced tying pairs.
